​Abstractions

I was attracted by the bold colours that I found in an almost childlike mural, painted on the side of an old shipping container.On closer inspection the underlying texture of the weathered peeling paint and the shape of the lettering from its former life gave it another dimension.

I wanted to capture an impression of this by using some of the key features in a way that they are not normally seen, whilst retaining some of the original characteristics.

By selecting smaller, fragmented areas, breaking down and creatively making my own compositions into a series of individual images, combining the visual elements of colour, texture, shape, line and form.I have created a panel of bright and colourful abstract pictures from the resulting images.
